Austin, Texas Estate Planning Attorneys

Protect Your Family, Assets, and Legacy with a
Comprehensive Texas Estate Plan

Estate planning isn’t only for the wealthy—it’s for every Texan who wants to protect their loved ones, manage their affairs, and ensure their wishes are honored. Even modest estates often include homes, vehicles, retirement accounts, business interests, or investments that require legal direction to distribute properly. Without a plan, Texas intestacy laws will determine who receives your assets—often in ways you may not intend.

At JH Law, our experienced Texas estate planning attorneys help clients of all ages and financial backgrounds create clear, effective estate plans that reduce uncertainty, prevent disputes, and protect what matters most.

Last Wills

A Last Will and Testament is the foundation of a solid estate plan. Your Will outlines how your property will be distributed, names an executor, and appoints guardians for minor children. Without a valid Will, Texas courts will apply statutory rules that may not reflect your wishes.

At JH Law, we draft customized Wills that help you:

  • Direct how your assets are distributed and under what conditions.=

  • Name trusted executors and guardians for children or dependents.

  • Reduce conflict and confusion among family members.

  • Coordinate your Will with trusts and other estate planning tools.

We also help clients update and amend Wills as their families, finances, or goals change—ensuring your plan remains accurate and enforceable.

Powers of Attorney

A Power of Attorney (POA) is one of the most important estate planning tools available. It allows you to appoint a trusted person to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated. Texas law recognizes several key types of Powers of Attorney, each serving a distinct purpose:

  • Statutory Durable Power of Attorney (Financial POA): Authorizes someone to handle banking, investments, real estate, or business operations on your behalf.

  • Medical Power of Attorney: Allows your chosen agent to make medical decisions if you are unable to do so.

  • Living Will / Advance Directive: States your preferences for end-of-life treatment and care.

  • HIPAA Authorization: Permits designated individuals to access your medical records.

At JH Law, we ensure your Powers of Attorney are carefully drafted to meet Texas legal standards and accurately reflect your wishes—offering clarity and protection during times of incapacity.
